The Market 'By= Lawir.
P•, the Editor of Tsui POST: -
DEAR. Stte,-A[low ire as an Eleotor
to give my views through your paper
of the proposed By-law - so , foolishly
submitted to the electors, surely our
Council must thiuk we have money
to burn. I am of the opinion that
every elector, whether in favor of a'
Carnegie Library or not, should vote
against the By-law and I think they
will unless a few, who only look at the
matter from a selfish view, and that
only asto the site being near their
property, Now it is only two years
since the people voted an exemption
that improved that corner and is a
benefit to the town but had parties
at that time taken the same grounds as
to the site that the selfish ones are now
taking it is questionable whether it
would have carried, notwithstanding
the popularity of the party to whom it
was granted, No one in any other
part of the town ever dreamt of such
selfish ground as they knew it was not
going to cost the town much and
would be a benefit wherever placed
and so it is. We, as a village, can't
afford to pulldown a building which.
with a little repairs, will fill the bill
for a Tawn Hall, lock-up, Fire ball
and hose tower for at least 15 years or
until the time shall arrive when we will
get rid of most of our debt as we are
doing and be in a position of getting a
better system ofafire protection, viz
waterworks and then the hose tower
and fire hall could be placed where
must suitable. If the By-law carries
this property must cease to be used as
market site, the hay scales will have
to be removed also the Town Hall.
You may be told such is not the amebae
don't take my word, read the By-law.
It says so as- plain as words can be,
and that is what you are votiug to do.
After that you can build the Carnegie
Library on the site should you get the
grant but should the represenative of
Mr, Carnegie call, as was said at the
meeting by some one the other night
he was going to do, inspect all Library
buildings in Canada, does any sane
person in the face of us pulling down
a Town Hall expect to get any grant
knowing on what terms it is given.
A future Council might not act up to
the resolution but surely' no one would,
expect the Council who passes the
resolution and accepted his grant
would be the first parties to go back on
it. Why should Ole parties repudiate
their own motion within one month ?
The law 'says market scales can't law-
fully be put on a street so a site will
have to be bought for them and the
only available ones are near . the
Queen's or American stables or A.
Currie's, and none are as good
as the present one. To remove
the scales -and purchase the site
will cost atii'east $too. - Then when
you pull down the 'Town Hall you
have no fire hall and we must have
one, and to build that it will cost at
least $25oo.00, that is to build a brick
or cement one with a `tower and- the
town would have no other. To do
this you would have to submit another
By-law to borrow the money and might
be defeated. We will also have to pay
interest on the money borrowed and
to float our debentures at par will have
to pay at least 4; per cent which will
mean $t000,00 so we will now see what
it is going to cost to nut up a Carnegie
Library ou the present market site :-
Submitting two By-law $ 100 o0
Site for hay scales and chang-
ing 200 00
Fire hall and tower 2soo oo
Interest on debentures,..,,8000 00
$3800 00
If the Library building is placed on
the other proposed or any other Site it
will only cost the pridegbf the site, in
the case of lot corner of Taruberry and
Mill streets only$soo.00 and the site
is worth the money, It is not paying
the motley for semethlug that i4 not
worthy of it and the Library building.

Hall, fire hall and hose tower, market
site and hay' settles. I have shown
what the Connell propose and if the

the next will say by their act we Will
not spend b
the Mont: for the purpose

of Brussels if they will vote to squand-
er our money or yet publish to the
world we have no honor, as they will
if they vote for the proposed By-law,
Our honor iso any mind Is worth nsore
